Futhi ngisho nokuwa kwakungelula neze. Nokho umlando weqembu awukapheleli.
Uthando lwezinganekwane zesayensi kanye nezinzuzo zokufunda amaphephandaba
Idolobhana elincane lezimboni iWhitley Bay enyakatho-mpumalanga yeNgilandi lalingehluke kakhulu kwamanye amadolobha anjalo. Ukuzijabulisa okukhulu kwezakhamizi zendawo bekuyimibuthano ezindaweni zobumnandi endawo nezindawo zokudlela. Kodwa kwakukhona lapha lapho iqembu le-Tygers of Pan Tang livele ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engu-70 yekhulu leminyaka elidlule. Waphayona igagasi elisha elikhulayo le-British heavy metal movement.
Ibhendi yasungulwa nguRob Weir. Uyena yedwa eqenjini lokuqala osadlala kuleli qembu kuze kube yimanje. Umshayi wesiginci onekhono, owanquma ukuthola abantu abanomqondo ofanayo ayengathola imali ngabo ngokudlala umculo awuthandayo, wahamba ngendlela elula. Wafaka isikhangiso ephepheni lendawo. Ababili bayiphendule - uBrian Dick, owahlala phansi ezigubhini kanye noRocky, ophethe kahle isiginci sebhesi.
Kwakukule ngqungquthela lapho ukusebenza kokuqala kweqembu kwenzeka ngo-1978. Bacula ezindaweni zobumnandi nasemakilabhini ahlukene kwenye yezindawo ezingaphansi kweNewcastle. Igama elithi "Tygers of Pan Tang" livela ku-bassist Rocky. Wayengumlandeli omkhulu wombhali uMichael Moorcock.
Kwenye yamanoveli ezinganekwane zesayensi, kuvela idwala lasebukhosini lasePan Tang. Le ntaba yayihlala amaqhawe avelele ayekhulekela isiphithiphithi futhi egcina amangwe njengezilwane ezifuywayo. Kodwa-ke, bekungabalulekile kangako emphakathini ukuthi amagama alaba bafana abadlala esiteji se-pub babizwa kanjani. Bakhangwe kakhulu umculo onesigqi esikhishwa izinsimbi zabo.
Ekuqaleni, umsebenzi we "Tygers of Pan Tang" wawugxile enkathini edumile kakade "iSabatha Elimnyama", "Deep Purple", futhi eminyakeni embalwa kamuva iqembu lazuza umsindo nesitayela salo sokuqala.
Ingoma engenamazwi ngeke ilethe udumo
Njengoba kungekho nelilodwa ilungu leqembu elalikwazi ukucula futhi lingenalo ikhono lezwi elikhumbulekayo, imidlalo yokuqala yeqembu yaba nezinsimbi ngokukhethekile. Kwakuyizingcezu zomculo eziphelele. Zazidonsela ukunaka futhi zethusa izilaleli ngokudangala kwazo nokusindwa kwazo. Kodwa leli qembu lathola umfutho futhi laduma endaweni yangakubo.
Ngesinye isikhathi, abaculi banquma ukuzinikeza izwi, ngakho umculi wokuqala u-Mark Butcher uvele eqenjini, waphinde wathola ngokusebenzisa izikhangiso ephephandabeni. Ukusebenzisana naye kwaba yisikhashana, ngemuva kwamakhonsathi angu-20 kuphela, uButcher walishiya iqembu, ethi iqembu alisoze laduma ngale ndlela.
Ngenhlanhla, isiprofetho sakhe saba nephutha. Ngokushesha, u-Jess Cox waba umculi oyedwa, futhi umsunguli wenkampani yokuqopha i-Neat Records, okwathi ngo-1979 yakhulula ingoma yokuqala esemthethweni ethi "Tygers of Pan Tang" - "Ungangithinti lapho", yaqaphela amabhendi amasha ensimbi enzima.
Lwaqala ke ukuvakasha. Leli qembu ngenkuthalo bahamba lonke elaseNgilandi, benza njengesenzo sokuvula ama-rockers athandwayo, phakathi kwawo kwakukhona Scorpions, Budgie, Iron Maiden. Intshisekelo eqenjini ikhule kakhulu, futhi sebevele benentshisekelo ezingeni lochwepheshe.
Kakade ngo-1980, abaculi balahlekelwa inkululeko yabo futhi baba impahla yenkampani ye-MCA. NgoJulayi wonyaka ofanayo, i-albhamu yokuqala ethi "Wild Cat" yakhululwa. Irekhodi likwazile ukunqoba ngokushesha indawo ye-18 kumashadi aseBrithani, njengoba iqembu belingakaziwa ngempela.
Ukwehla nokwenyuka kokuqala kweTygers yasePan Tang
Ngemva kokufinyelela ezingeni lochwepheshe futhi wathola imvume izethameli, "Tygers of Pan Tang" akagcinanga lapho. Abaculi bathole owabo umsindo uthambile futhi ungenamandla ngendlela esingathanda ngayo. Lesi simo sisindiswe ngumshayi wesigingci uJohn Sykes, onikeze umdlalo we-heavy metalllers ngaphezulu "inyama" kanye ne-thrash.
Futhi ukudlala ngempumelelo eMkhosini Wokufunda kwaqinisekisa indlela okuyiyonayona yokuthuthuka kweqembu. Kodwa impumelelo enkulu yaba yisizathu sokulungisa ubudlelwano nokudonsa ingubo phezu kwelungu ngalinye leqembu. Ngenxa yalokho, uJess Cox wangena ekubhukudeni kwamahhala. Futhi umculi omusha weqembu kwakunguJohn Deverill. I-albhamu ebaluleke kakhulu ku-discography yeqembu, "Spellbound", yaqoshwa naye.
Konke kwakuhamba kahle, kodwa abaphathi benkampani "MCA" babedinga umsebenzi osebenzayo. Abaphathi bomculo babefuna ukuba nesikhathi sokuthola imali kulabo abasanda kuhlanganyela abakhuphukela endaweni yamadwala aseBrithani, ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngakho-ke, bafuna ukuthi iqembu liqophe ngokushesha i-albhamu yesithathu. Ngakho-ke umhlaba wabona i-"Crazy Nights", okwaba i-albhamu ebuthakathaka kakhulu yensimbi enzima yangaleyo minyaka.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaculi sebevele bezizwa bezinzile ngaphansi kwezinyawo zabo futhi baqala ukubukeka nokuzwakala beqinile. Basuse ukungaqiniseki nokuzenzakalela okuheha ababukeli nabalaleli emidlalo yabo yokuqala.

Igalelo lokuqala elithi "Tygers of Pan Tang" kwaba ukushintshwa okuphoqelelwe komculi oyedwa. Ukungqubuzana noJess kubonise ukuthi abaculi abakwazi njalo ukuvumelana hhayi kuphela nenkampani ebakhululayo, kodwa futhi nomunye nomunye. Futhi-ke, ngokubona ukuthi iqembu alinabo abaphathi, uJohn Sykes walishiya iqembu kungazelelwe. Futhi ukwenza ngesikhathi esingesihle kakhulu - ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuvakasha kweFrance.
Ukuze lolu hambo lube khona, kwadingeka ukuba iqembu lifune ngokushesha umuntu ozongena esikhundleni sakhe. Umshayi wesigingci omusha kwakunguFred Purser, okwadingeka afunde zonke izinto zeqembu esikhathini esingaphansi kwesonto. Ibhendi iqhubekile nokudlala imidlalo yaze yaqopha i-albhamu yayo yesine, ethi, The Cage. Kodwa ngenxa yezingxenye zesiginci zikaPurser, othanda ngokungagwegwesi inkambiso, irekhodi alikho nhlobo emoyeni we "Tygers of Pan Tang". Yayifana kuphela nesitayela sensimbi enzima.
Amahlosi angenamazinyo angena ngaphansi komhlaba
Mhlawumbe, kwaba ukuhamba kukaSykes nokukhetha okuvuna uPurser okwaba yiphutha elibulalayo okwaqala ngalo uchungechunge olumnyama lweqembu. I-albhamu yesine ethi "Tygers of Pan Tang" yamukelwa kabi abalandeli. Abaphathi bamane benqaba ukuyithengisa, futhi ukubambisana okwengeziwe ne-MCA kwase kuseduze nokuwa. Abaphathi belebuli bafuna ukuthi abaculi bazithole sebengumphathi omusha. Kodwa ubani ozosebenza neqembu eseliqale ngokusobala ukwehlela phansi lisuka ku-Olympus yomculo?
Imizamo ezimele yokushintsha isitudiyo sokuqopha igcine ingaphumelelanga. Ku-"MCA", ebhekisela emigomeni yenkontileka, bacela inani elimangalisayo lokuyeka ukusebenza ndawonye, ayikho enye inkampani ye "Tygers of Pan Tang" ngaleso sikhathi eyayikulungele ukunikeza imali enjalo. Ngenxa yalokho, iqembu lenze isinqumo esifanele kuphela ngaleso sikhathi - ukuyeka ukuba khona.
Ngemuva kweminyaka embalwa yokuvala, umculi oholayo uJohn Deverill kanye nesigubhu uBrian Dick bazama ukuqala kabusha. Balande abadlali besiginci uSteve Lam, uNeil Sheppard noClint Irwin oshaya ibhesi. Kodwa ngisho nokuqoshwa kwama-albhamu amabili aphelele akubasindisanga ekugxekweni ochwepheshe bomculo kanye nokubuyekezwa okungekuhle okuvela kubalandeli be-rock mayelana nala marekhodi angenamandla namabi.
Kodwa-ke, uRob Ware noJess Cox nabo bahlulekile ukudala okuthile okusha nokuzwakalayo okuhle ngaphakathi kohlaka lwephrojekthi ehlukile ethi "Tyger-Tyger". Zombili izinketho zokuguqula iqembu le-Tygers of Pan Tang zihluke ngokuphelele kulokho ezazidalelwe khona ngo-1978. Babengenakho lokho kuqina, amandla kanye nokushayela okuqotho, okuhlukanisa insimbi enhle esindayo nokubi.
Akukona konke okulahlekile okwamanje
Ngo-1998 kuphela lapho umhlaba waphinda wezwa "igezwe phansi". Umkhosi we-Wacken Open Air waba inkundla yokuvuswa kweqembu. U-Rob Ware, u-Jess Cox kanye nokukhethwa kwabaculi abasha bahlanganyele ukuze badlale izingoma ezishisayo zeqembu, okuphawula iminyaka engu-20 leqembu. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi lo mkhosi ngokwawo wawugubha iminyaka eyishumi, isipho esinjalo samukelwe ngentshiseko ngabalaleli. Ukudlala kweqembu kuze kwakhishwa njenge-albhamu ebukhoma ehlukile.
Yilesi senzakalo esibe yisiqalo emzamweni wokubuyisela isimo sabo njengeqembu elihamba phambili laseBrithani le-heavy metal. Yebo, bebenohlu olusha, umsindo obuyekeziwe, futhi ilungu nomdali walo unomphela kuphela, u-Rob Ware, ohlale ethintana nomlando weqembu.

Amarekhodi alotshwe enkulungwaneni entsha yeminyaka awazange abe nokuthengiswa okukhulu kangaka. Kodwa leli qembu likwazile ukubuyisa uthando lwabalandeli, laheha abalaleli abasha ezinhlwini zabo.
